#7 of The Lucky Ones

Who needs shipping when you have two Lucarios?


* Nick *

Ahh that was a rather peaceful sleep.

But for some reason, my entire body felt rather heavy. Almost like there was a cinder block just poking through my chest. I finally fully opened my eyes and gave one good rub right before I was greeted with the odd sensation.

Ri was completely passed out on top of me with his muzzle digging into my chest. Huh I completely forgot we had to sleep on the couch.

My breath came out in a hearty morning chuckle as I very gently rotated his head to a much more comfortable level for the both of us. But to my slight surprise when I shot my eyes towards the living room it was nearly twelve in the afternoon.

The sounds of car doors shutting erupted from outside the house jarring me even further awake. However Ri was still completely limp practically pinning me to the couch, and I didn't exactly want to wake him up. Hell I kinda like just feeling his body lying on top of mine.

An audible creaking sound came from the front door as two sets of feet walked into the house followed up by the door shutting tight.

"Hey Lu, think it's time we wake the kids up?"

Sarah's voice was followed up by her extremely deep voiced Lucario husband, "they've traveled for a good bit of time, I think we can just let this one slide. Plus Nick's probably dying from having to walk with a freaking disability."

Suddenly the sound of their footsteps approached the living room practically scaring my eyes back close. My left arm was still wrapped around his back, but he was holding me as well.

Lu's voice practically echoed out once more, "man they look oddly comfortable for sleeping on a couch."

I could feel my face starting to burn up a little bit but I had to force all those emotions back. And to make things even more impossible for me, Sarah placed her hand on top of mine, gripping with it into Ri's back. "Ahh Lu, you remember when we were teenagers?"

Her hand retracted back and I heard one more footstep sink into the floor. "Oh you mean when we first ki-"

Lu's words were obviously cut off by something, but the sounds of their lips smacking quickly gave me an answer.

"Yes dear, I still remember you crying right before I kissed yah." From only knowing Ri's parents for a single day, I could already tell these two were just boundless in their love. And from my short standpoint these two still act like teens.

The sound of them exiting the living room allowed me to finally open my eyes back up without looking too awkward pinned to the couch.

From the position I was, they seemed to have entered the kitchen and my thoughts were instantly answered the moment Lu yelled out, "I knew you bought chocolate!"

Sarah let out a little giggle and that was followed up by silence. "Ahh Sarah I love you so much!"

"Heh, is that the chocolate speaking or just me."

She let out a little squeal and I only heard one set of feet prancing around the room. "It seems my amazing wife knows too much about me!"

"Oh is that why you picked me up huh? No other way out?"

He let out a little chuckle, "well there are less appropriate ways."

Oh I did so not need to hear that...

"Lu, your son is literally ten feet away!"

A small chuckle erupted from the Lucario, "hey, he's your kid too. Also don't forget Nick who just so happens to be dating that said son."

I hear Sarah's feet gently connect with the floor as she did what sounded like a little hop. "Well as long as they are happy right? Hell just look at them, they look a whole lot like us when we were younger."

Suddenly I felt Ri stirring around on top of me followed up by his muzzle poking me in the neck. My lips instantly curved into a smile as he crawled up on top of me and gave me a little kiss on my nose. "Sleep well Nick?"

But I wasn't the only one that noticed Ri waking up. Sarah let out a giddy little squeal and started to drag Lu towards us.

"Yeah I slept rather well with my naturally warm blanket."

"Oh my god you guys are so cute!"

Lu tugged on her arm slightly, "you wanna take a picture like your mother used to?"

That however seemed like a challenge she was willing to accept that I didn't agree with. She whipped out her phone and took a picture of Ri and I staring at the camera in a confused manner.

Ri jokingly asked, "dad why do you let her do this stuff?"

He only laughed and replied, "cause your mother wanted to."

Sarah put her arm around Lu and practically shoved the phone in his face. "Oh come on Lu, you can't say they don't look great together?"

My face started to burn up from the attention, and even Ri started to get a little antsy in his face. "Yeah honey I'm literally looking at them."

She put her phone away, "I'm only playing guys calm down... jeez."

I let myself relax back into the couch causing my blush to just disappear. And for the first time in awhile I finally spoke, "we gonna get up anytime soon?'

Sarah laughed a little bit and Ri quickly hopped off of me realizing he was still just kinda collapsed on me, but there was a slight hint he quite enjoyed sleeping on top of me.

My legs finally found their way onto the floor and all four of just kinda looked at each other not really sure what we were doing.

Ri broke the tension by stretching out onto his feet and yawning out, "well I slept rather well!"

I quickly hopped up next to him, being careful not to fall and leaned onto his side for some support. "Mhm, pretty comfy couch I might add."

Lu scratched at the back of his head and slyly said, "I miss our old couch."

Sarah must of pinched him or something as he jerked his body slightly, "Lu you're terrible!"

"He-"

She kissed him on the cheek slightly awkwardly, but it was enough to get him to shut up.

Lu spoke once more, "well okay speaking of new furniture, we need to get you guys a mattress."

Ri capitalized on the idea and instantly chirped out, "can we go now?!"

Can we not even eat first... Kinda hungry!

"Well good thing I didn't take my shoes off," she seemed slightly annoyed from having to head back out, but her husband did bring it up.

As those two headed towards the door Ri grabbed my hand and helped me over to the front door. Within a few moments I was back into my sneakers walking on a sidewalk next to Ri closely trailing behind his parents.

*Ri*

While trailing behind them making some small talk, Nick very subtly slipped his hand into my paw while we were holding arms. The pace we were moving at was rather slow, but Nick obviously couldn't move very quick but that didn't matter.

Ahh Nick I'm just glad you can't see into my dreams, cause I have no idea what's wrong with me... But man I'm just glad that didn't turn into a wet dream cause that would of been impossible to explain. I have no clue why Nick, but you just really get me going in all the right and wrong ways. Hell, you not even being able to walk properly is actually something that makes me feel better. As selfish as it sounds that means I know you'll always be close to me. Arceus, where has my mind wandered off to?

"Ri!"

My eyes focused back in and when I looked up from the ground my eyes met up with my father's and he seemed curious. "Hey kid you okay?"

We were all stopped just staring at me, like I somehow blacked out on the street. "I uhh... yeah I'm fine, just really tired.

Nick chirped in, "dude we slept like all day."

Yeah I couldn't really sleep that well with my freaking buddy downstairs keeping me up...

Thankfully, my mom and dad just kept on moving saving me from an unanswerable question. And even more in luck, there was a shopping plaza that actually had a bedding store in it. I did in fact know about this store, but I lost count of how many steps we actually took.

We looked rather awkward entering the store, this was a small group of people that included two Lucarios and two humans. But Sarah used to carry me on her shoulder everywhere, so I guess it's not like we haven't had public eyes fall on us.

My mom stopped us all and turned towards me and Nick, "so is a queen sized bed good enough for you guys?"

"Yeah that sounds good to me!" As much as I enjoyed sleeping on top of Nick, I'd much rather do it in a larger bed just in case we decided to ever... never mind...

I looked over to Nick and he had an amazing glare in his eyes as his sight lined up with mine. "Yeah uhh... Sarah? That would be pretty awesome for you guys to do!

She let out a little giggle and planted her hand on his shoulder, "thanks for actually being laid back and just using my name."

And before that could carry on any further, she turned back to my dad and drug him off further into the store before he could even throw in his two cents.

"Ahh Nick, can't wait to actually sleep in a nice bed!"

He let out a soft chuckle and leaned up against me which I of course could easily support him. "Yeah... your fur was oddly comfortable last night, like a loving blanket."

Ahh come on! That's like a complete turn on!

His hand was still placed in my paw with neither one of us wanting to let go. But I was saved once again by my dad sprinting across the store just to say, "she found one!"

He started to hurry back towards mom, and in order for me to even have a chance to catch up I was forced to pick Nick up and cradled him into my arms.

Thankfully was caught up and was greeted with the sight of a rather large mattress. "Go on, lie on it!"

"Mom are we even allowed to do that?"

She just gave me the "I don't care" face and just leaned lovingly up against her husband. Mom... how old are you again?

I shook the thought off with a smile and dropped Nick on the bed that had all the pillow crap that made the bed seem like two times smaller. But without even hesitating, I fell onto my back next to him and was instantly amazed at the sheer comfort of the bed. Even Nick agreed silently just by driving his shoulders deep into the bed in comfort. He followed it up with, "yeah Ri this is the one!"

I couldn't help but laugh, "yeah this is pretty freaking comfortable!"

Deciding to not get thrown out of the store, I reluctantly slid off the bed back onto the floor and yanked Nick back next to me.

My dad had a slight smirk on his face and he quickly justified it by saying, "I looked just like Nick when I first slept with Sarah like twenty years ago."

"Woah, you guys have been together for twenty years?!"

Oh yeah I never actually told him did I?

Mom leaned in and gave him a little kiss on his cheek, "yup, made me the happiest girl alive." She let out a soft sigh as they just kinda stared at each other soaking in the time.

Then to my slight surprise, my dad placed his paw on my shoulder, "yeah, and we spent nearly fifteen years together raising your boyfriend Nick. Ahh a human married to a Lucario raising a Riolu as her own flesh and blood."

He leaned back over and gave her a much deeper kiss. They didn't make it last too, too long but it was long enough to the point that I was getting that ew feeling. Sarah let out a little sigh, "and speaking of this Lucario here, he is the most amazing guy that any person could of possibly asked for."

Nick let out a little corny joke, "oh is that why Ri is so nice to me then?"

My face started to burn up, "okay, okay, we get it, you guys raised an awesome son!"

But of course my dad just had to pick on me further, "hey gotta learn from the best!"

The little scene we were making managed to attract a store worker and the lady asked, "can I help you folk?"

She honestly seemed terrified standing up against us, but we did look rather threatening when in fact we were completely docile.

My mom took the driver seat and said, "yes ma'am we would like to purchase this fine mattress!"

Wow nice enthusiasm.

They talked over the price, and sure enough she purchased it. But to my slight demise, she declined the shipping and just said we would carry it. "Alright I need you boys to carry this."

I just dropped my muzzle to the floor, "what about Nick..."

"I'll help him buddy, don't worry bout' it."

My dad quickly grabbed one end, and trudged me way to the other side. After a few seconds of awkward positioning, we managed to lift the thing out of the store. The bed obviously didn't cause any issues with weight, but those small freaking doors did. It was kinda odd just watching my mom help Nick walk, but in the end I think it'll all work out.

I'm just curious how this night will go...
